If you’re in need of a new wireless controller for your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, or PC at a fraction of the price, look no further than Amazon.
You can save up to £13 on a new controller — including vibrant finishes like Deep Pink, Electric Volt, and Shock Blue. Unfortunately, these limited edition colourways haven’t quite managed to secure the all-time discount, which is still held by its Black Friday sale last year.
You can also get the standard Carbon Black on sale for £49.99 — was £59.99.
This promotion arrives during Amazon’s Spring Deal Days sale — where you can score a deal across (almost) every department until 11:59pm tonight. However, these controllers appear to be a separate deal all on their own. Every item that has been marked down in honour of Amazon’s spring sale has been labelled with Spring Deal or Big Spring Deal next to the sale price. The Xbox controllers don’t have this displayed, so it may stay on sale after Amazon’s spring event expires.
Over 1,000 shoppers have added these versatile controllers to their baskets within the last month, which can also be paired with iPads and Apple TVs to play console-quality titles like Call of Duty, Resident Evil: Village, and Death Stranding from the App Store or game-streaming services like Xbox Game Pass, which is also available on Fire TV Sticks — transforming these popular dongles into consoles.
Microsoft has released a flurry of different shades of its Xbox Series wireless controllers since the latest console generation was announced back in November 2020.
Save up to £13 on new Xbox controllers from Amazon
If you’re happy with the standard Carbon Black, Amazon’s Spring Deal Days is the perfect opportunity to upgrade to a brand-new Xbox wireless controller from Microsoft. With an RRP of £59.99, Amazon has slashed the price down to £49.99 — a 17% discount. You can also save up to £13 now, with vibrant colours such as Deep Pink, Pulse Red, and Shock Blue.
Xbox Wireless Controllers
With its ergonomic design, Xbox wireless controllers have become a go-to option for PC gamers.
With wireless connectivity and Bluetooth pairing, they can be paired with multiple devices — like a Meta Quest 3 and Xbox Series S — at the same time. These controllers boast textured grips on triggers and bumpers for improved grip, alongside a hybrid d-pad ideal for retro gaming.
A built-in headphone jack lets you connect headphones and microphones for online multiplayer.
Xbox wireless controllers use 2x AA batteries, with the option to use a rechargeable battery pack. While every other controller has moved to a sealed design with a built-in lithium-ion battery cell, Microsoft has stuck to its guns — offering the players the chance to swap-out batteries so downtime between recharges is mere seconds. It also means that, should the battery deteriorate inside the controller, it doesn’t write-off the entire controller, like you might find with the latest from Sony PlayStation and Nintendo.
